I am a Professor in the Law School at the University of Melbourne, where I hold the Chair of Intellectual Property.

I also do arbitration and mediation of IP, IT and related commercial disputes, advise on domain name disputes, and conduct commissioned research for business, governments and international organisations.

I teach various IP and IT law subjects – including copyright law, patent law and cyberlaw – and I undertake IP law research. From this site you can access my cyberlaw news, and my recent research publications.
